  • Combined, the cityโ€™s ski areas have 45 lifts and around 130km of slopes

    โ€“ more than enough to keep all but the keenest skiers and boarders happy for a week. Snow conditions are usually reliable despite the low altitude and away from the slopes there is loads to do, especially if youโ€™re keen to try out Norwayโ€™s national sport of cross country skiing.

    Pros and cons

    • Access to five varied ski areas
    • Very family friendly and great for first timers
    • Lots to do away from the slopes
    • Each ski area is a drive from town
    • Few challenges for experts
    • Food and drinks prices can be expensive

    On the Slopes

    The best beginner runs are on the summit, with the steeper terrain being towards the base. Kvitfjell hosts an annual World Cup Downhill race on a steep and tricky black โ€“ but aside from this most of the terrain is suited to beginners and intermediates, including the new Varden area.

    The smaller Skeikampen area has some good beginner facilities, as well as some steeper descents that are fun in good snow. Gala is home to two small ski areas, whilst the fifth area of Sjusjoen is essentially one fast 6-pack serving a network of summit to base runs. At all of the areas, night skiing is popular and there are some excellent terrain parks too.

    In the Resort

    Lillehammer makes for a great base if you want to explore all of the ski areas, just be prepared to drive each morning to the slopes. It is a working city of 28,000 people as well as being a ski resort, so there are lots of eating options and things to see โ€“ high on the list must be the 1994 Olympic Museum and the massive ski jumping hills to the east of the centre.

    Alternatively you can base yourself at one of the ski areas โ€“ weโ€™d suggest staying at Hafjell or Kvitfjell. Staying here will give you fantastic access to cross country trails, tobogganing paths and other activities such as dog sledding. If youโ€™re lucky you may see the Northern Lights during your stay.

    Getting to Lillehammer

    Lillehammer is an easy two hour drive directly north from Oslo. Just note that if youโ€™re staying in Kvitfjell, add on another 45 minutes to your journey time.
